LINCOLN, Neb. —

There is a transition under way at the fall camp for the Huskers. The team is moving from training mode to game preparation as Nebraska gets ready to take on Southern Miss a week from Saturday.

Coach Bo Pelini said that he's happy with where his team is after three weeks of fall camp. He said the team is further along in practice when he compares them to his other four Husker teams -- the starters in particular.

"[I'm pleased] especially with the first group," said Pelini. "My biggest concerns, obviously, are with the backups and the guys who are a play away from getting in there and being able to execute what we ask them to execute."

The season opener against Southern Miss will be seen on KETV starting at 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 1.
